Upcoming events

Join Wild Ones Greater Cleveland for an exciting and impactful event as we partner with Summit Metro Parks for a native tree and shrub seed collection initiative. This collaboration aims to gather seeds from specific native tree species to support the conservation and restoration efforts within our metro parks.

During this event, participants will have the opportunity to collect seeds from targeted native species. These seeds will be used to grow new trees and shrubs by Summit Metro Parks, fostering a thriving and resilient environment for future generations.

Our partnership with Summit Metro Parks highlights the shared commitment to preserving and enhancing our natural spaces. Together, we are dedicated to promoting the importance of native plants and the many benefits they bring to our local ecosystems. Your participation will make a meaningful difference in our ongoing conservation efforts.

-This is an adult only event.

-Please dress appropriately for hiking off-trail within the Metro Park, and bring water. If you would like to wear garden gloves for this event, please bring your own, all other collection materials will be provided.

-Attendees will need to sign a waiver for Summit Metro Parks at the start of the event, prior to embarking on the seed collection.

Explore the ecological and aesthetic advantages of hedges and hedgerows in our upcoming Wild Ones national webinar, “The Beauty and Benefits of Hedgerows” with Heather McCargo, founder of Wild Seed Project.

Learn how to use high-density plantings that replicate natural ecosystems in aesthetically pleasing designs, enhancing ecological functions while reducing maintenance efforts in our upcoming Wild One’s national webinar, “Matrix Landscape Design” with author, landscape designer, activist, and educator Benjamin Vogt.

Matrix planting is a landscape design approach that mimics natural ecosystems by closely planting and layering compatible perennials and grasses to cover the soil, provide more ecosystem services, and eliminate the need for wood mulch or aggressive weeding.  Join Wild Ones for a webinar to learn how author, educator, and landscape designer Benjamin Vogt applies this approach to create stunning native gardens. Learn the principles behind this method, its ecological benefits, and practical steps to implement matrix planting in your own garden. 

You will also learn about Benjamin’s latest collaboration with Wild Ones on the new Native Garden Design for Lincoln, NE. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from a leading voice in natural garden design and take your gardening skills to the next level. Register now to secure your spot!
